She said previously: “We call each other still and we’re still on good terms – we do really get on. We have a lot of things in common.

“We both like going to the gym, we both really clicked in the villa. As soon as we came out the distance was a big issue.

“I’m not someone who would want to see someone all the time anyway, but it was more we weren’t seeing each other a lot.

“We knew we would be really, really busy and it was quite early on to start going out with someone. It’s just seeing if he moves closer or something like that… never say never [to getting back together].”

However, it wasn’t just the distance she was struggling with as the 22-year-old beauty also hated how many girls would message her on social media about her man.

She said: “I used to get girls messaging me on Twitter saying, ‘I’m with Alex in a club, he’s with girls and stuff.’

“To be honest, I completely trusted Alex, he’s a really good guy. It’s just annoying more than anything else. I think relationship wise I like my private life to stay private and that was the opposite of what happened!”
